Looking for a way to engage with other members of the RBC community? Check out the RBC Library's new Community Conversations series!
The RBC Library is excited to announce its new Community Conversations series, a way for the RBC community to engage in a dialogue about a common resource available in multiple formats. Think of it as a new approach to a book club, but reading is NOT required!
Our third book in the Community Conversations series is I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, an autobiography about Malala Yousafzai from her early life and focusing on her activism for female education.
Malala Yousafzai is an activist from Pakistan advocating for female education and human rights. Yousafzai advocates for the education of girls in Swat Valley after the Pakistan Taliban banned girls from attending school. She was shot by a Taliban gunman in an assassination attempt and survived. She is the youngest Nobel Prize laureate and has a non-profit called the Malala fund to support other activists fighting for female education.
Whether you'd prefer to read the book, watch the documentary, or explore related resources is up to you--we just want you to familiarize yourself with the content and join in on the conversation!
Our Conversation will happen on Wednesday, March 31 at 2pm via Zoom. Interested in participating? Add our zoom meeting to your calendar: https://richardbland.zoom.us/j/96614905547 !
The co-hosts for March's Community Conversation will be Carly Baskerville, Head Librarian, Kyle Binaxas, Student Success Librarian, and Dr. Tiffany Birdsong, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Richard Bland College.
